Here's an ex. of a two step equation, it is better if you post an equation.
solve for x:
3x + 5 = 11
First, subtract 5 from each side to get a constant on the right.
3x + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5
3x = 6
Now divide both sides by 3 to isolate the x.
x = 2
To solve ineaualities, you do the same steps.
Hope you understand, if not maybe you should post an equation and itmay be easier to expalin;
=)
